Since I started working at the New Castle School District, I have not been able to provide enough calculators for all my students to use without them having to share or make do with partially working screens. As you can imagine, it is difficult to teach when students do not have the necessary materials. Previously, much of my lesson time was spent ensuring students had pencils to take notes with, being interrupted by a hand-crank pencil sharpener that most students struggled to use, and managing complaints about sharing broken calculators.\r\n\r\nSince your donation, my students have flourished with working materials. I no longer have to worry about the logistics of getting everyone set up for class. There is now a working calculator at all 30 desks, an overflow of pencils available, and an easy-to-use pencil sharpener. Students are now able to collect materials with ease and independence. This creates fewer distractions, less anxiety for me, and most importantly, more learning time. I have also noticed that the students have been extra careful with these new materials, which shows me they are equally grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1776817997511,"projectUrl":"project/no-pencil-no-calculator-no-problem-w/10196637/","projectTitle":"No Pencil?

It truly brought a sense of excitement and positivity into our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe coloring materials have been a huge hit. Students have already been using them to express their creativity, and it has been wonderful to see their enthusiasm.
